Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy Experience ‘Love at First Sight’ in First Trailer

First Trailer Unveils Haley Lu Richardson and Ben Hardy’s Enchanting Encounter in ‘Love at First Sight’

Love fills the atmosphere, quite literally, as Netflix prepares to enchant viewers with its adaptation of “Love at First Sight,” a delightful romantic comedy. Set during an extensive plane journey, the film revolves around two individuals who meet and embark on a captivating journey of falling in love. Netflix recently released the much-anticipated first trailer ahead of its scheduled release date on September 15.

“Love at First Sight” draws inspiration from Jennifer E. Smith’s bestselling novel, originally titled “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.” The story introduces Hadley (played by Haley Lu Richardson, known for her role in “The White Lotus”) and Oliver (portrayed by Ben Hardy, recognized for his performance in “Bohemian Rhapsody”). These strangers encounter a charming moment at the airport and quickly form a deep connection during their flight from New York to London. Although they lose sight of each other upon arrival, destiny often has a whimsical way of bringing people together. Perhaps Hadley and Oliver’s chances of reuniting are not as impossible as they initially thought.

The trailer commences at John F. Kennedy airport, where Jameela Jamil’s narration sets the stage for Hadley and Oliver’s serendipitous meeting. The pair effortlessly cultivates a playful chemistry, making the most of their nearly seven-hour flight as they grow closer and even enjoy a charming first date mid-air. Unfortunately, their bliss is short-lived as they part ways in London, with the narrator revealing that the odds of their reunion are a mere 0.2%. Nevertheless, their thoughts remain consumed by each other. Interestingly, both characters appear reluctant to actively seek one another, almost accepting the idea of never crossing paths again, aware of the slim chances. Nonetheless, the trailer tantalizes viewers with the promise of a heartwarming and hopeful tale.
